Heavyweight boat choice.

   I do indeed have H1 still for sale.  It’s a perf ct boat for someone of a fuller figure but who is finding they are perhaps less nimble than they used to be.  It is a quick boat, especially in a blow where at 90kg I’m definitely Italy not heavy enough.  But I think the main advantage is that you never need to kneel.  The buoyancy down the centre line makes a perfect sitting place when it’s light, unlike the phantom or the RS300.  It’s also very easy to right following capsize, another plus for those of us in our middle years.
Somehow I find myself also owning a Finn, a woodie deep cockpit phantom, an OK and a D one.  The full st of big person boats!  My favourite is the D one.  I am the right weight for it, it is a joy to sail and there is enough racing to match my free time.  My nextfavourite is the Finn but I am really too light for it, so it will most likely be for sale too.  I got use of the class demo OK for their Nationals this year and loved it so much I bought one with two rigs so I can use it for both cvrda racing and class racing.  This all means that poor H1 is a bit surplus to requirements.  That being said, I’m really only selling because I want to buy a better car.

If I can work out how to post a pic I will, but be.iece me, it’s a pretty, pretty boat.  £3500 with a very decent combi trailer.
